Hi all,
Since I got into brewing a few months ago, I've been fascinated with yeast strains and wild yeast, so a few weeks ago, I set up a lab to start to develop and culture wild yeast into suitable and mild strains. I've approached major yeast manufacturers, I will not name names, asking for any and all advice, suggestions, etc, and have received minimal results. After a lot of samples, I believe I have found a strain that is bottom fermenting, however it will take dozens of cultures to find a concentrated, alive, and suitable vial to start testing at lower temperatures and flavor wise. I could write pages about what I'm doing, but I'll try not to bore you.
I will post pictures on here occasionally of my progress and I may be offering free samples of the yeast away in return for a review and a profile.
All advice is appreciated, however anyone who is kind of enough to send me a sample from their part of the country, I would really appreciate it, please message me. Whether it's from local fruit, vegetables, honey, or you just leave a used vial of film canister of wort out, it can be really helpful in my search to find affordable yeast for home brewers. I promise to send a sampler of vials for free to anyone who sends me a sample from their part of the country, once I have a line set up.
Thanks,
